TWO ENIGMAS.

1. My whole is a bird.
My first is in noble, but not in bright.
My second is in scurry, but not in fright.
My third is in stone, but not in rock.
My fourth is in dress, and also in frock.
My fifth is in rise, but not in stand.
My sixth is in scratch, but not in brand.
My seventh is in Harry, but not in Fred.
Now tell my name, Mollie, Winnie, and Ned.

S. Birdie Donnan.

2. First in vine, but not in tree.
Second in river, not in sea.
Third in ace, but not in jack.
Fourth in plenty, not in lack.
Fifth in old, but not in young.
Sixth in rhyme, but not in song.
Seventh in idle, not in good.
Eighth in scarf, but not in hood.
Oh, a lovely lady's name
Is my whole, as all proclaim.

Mary L.
